whats a good oc for an amd 1.4ghz?

[Dissolved]

hello, im getting a brand new mobo (ga-7dxr) and a amd 1.4ghz. and i was wondering ahead of time a good range of the speeds i could get by overclocking. ill be useing a globalwin cak-38 w/ delta fan and nanotherm paste. do you think i could get 1600mhz?
thanks

1.6 is about average for those chips.

Check out the "CPU DATABASE" located on the front page of this site. This database will give you a comparison between the various processors and what others are getting out of them.

Research!!!!

You might get more or less. The cak38 is a very good fan, just
be careful not to break the clip! Like I did!!

well i tryed the database but it was down.

Well i get 1650 air cooled with an ThermoEngine=Delta screamer..

Yhe date is 01 week 31..... pretty recent so your chances of the same are good if the chip is pretty new.

i don't know about your motherboard but the chip generally does around 1.6ghz with good air cooling

the cak38 is great! but lap it to make it even better

lapping it means rubbing the bottom of the heatsink on a piece of wood or mirror with sandpaper

wat difference will dat make and why?

"lapping it means rubbing the bottom of the heatsink on a piece of wood or mirror with sandpaper"

mirror with sandpaper?

what do you mean, jensen?
that would roughen it, right?
heatsink bottom should be smooth ga ma?

Lapping the bottom off your Heatsink will help to smooth out the surface and make it as flat as possible. This will increase the contact area between core and heatsink and therefore increase heat transport from the core to the fins.

my athlon t-bird 1ghz is getting around 1.55ghz

16x X 9.5

i think the 1.4ghz will get 1.6ghz easy, if u hav good cooling

Yo go here for the info you seek about lapping.

Lapping (http://www.sysopt.com/articles/lap/index.html)

Be carefull when you do it... take your time. If you make it unlevel its worthless...

I wouldnt try this on CPUs...I've screwed up my old AMD Tbird 1.2 doing this but thankfully it will still overclock to 1350 and before it would do 1400...
